Create a current RFA view

[eichmann]

Pull data from our RFA cache for display on the main landing page

[eichmann]

The two immediate options are an iframe wrapping a JSP lurking in labs and a batch daemon that pushes RFA entities into Drupal via the API.

I would be glad to explore the Spring Batch option? Do these RFA entities currently reside in a Postgres database (and connected to the current WordPress site)? Please send the Url (for the RFA View)?

@amikaili A launch daemon on wintermute runs daily, poplating nih_foa schemas on neuromancer, wintermute and colossus. That daemon also triggers the Lucene index regeneration on guardian (aka labs.cd2h.org). The widget on the landing page is a custom block ("NIH FOA") with an iframe that executes the embedded_search.jsp page with a query of "informatics". While this is a pretty flexible mechanism, the iframe is sandboxed, and hence doesn't inherit any of the landing page CSS, so fonts, bullets, etc. differ. I'd like to figure out how to expose the main CSS to the sandbox, but I also definitely want to implement this through the API and/or GraphQL module to do this more natively.

A little element inspection with Chrome and the iframe now styles similarly to the surrounding blocks.

Under the Manage display tab, for configuring each Custom Block (Admin>>Structure>>Block layout>>Custom block library >> Edit Block content style)the third column "PARENT" can be set to "content". Please see the image below and let me know if this would help (I lost Admin to the site)?

@amikaili - iframes always get sandboxed. Note that I checked your roles - you're still an Author and and Administrator, same as me...

OK my bad I logged in and got the Admin back. BTW could you please help with the question Anita just posted to SLACK (web-redesign channel) about NCBI TAXONOMY)? Thanks!
